Heal Our Land Part II - Walk in the Light

From darkness to light
At the dedication of God's temple, God responded to Solomon's prayer with this: if my people, who are called by my name (e.g., CHRIST-ian), will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

To humble yourself and pray means to seek God. After all, isn't the main point of prayer to be in God's presence? But we must also repent. We are all sinful, and must repent from something. Some must repent from the bad things that they've done, some must repent because of the good things they haven't done. The bigger problem might be the good that we are supposed to do, we don't do. Not that we never think, say, or do bad things; we do them all the time. But for some reason the other aspect of sin, "missing the mark," is not talked about so much. I think the most telling fact is that most non-believers can easily identify what we are against, not what we are for. What is/are the good thing(s) that you have been neglecting lately? Choose this moment to walk in the light. And when we do this, God will bring revival in our hearts and heal our land.
